What is the treatment for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome?

  1. Thiamine

  2. Rifaximin

  3. Furosemide

  4. Ceftriaxone

The correct answer is: Thiamine

Thiamine is the correct treatment for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by a deficiency in thiamine (Vitamin B1). Thiamine supplementation is essential to alleviate symptoms and prevent further neurological damage. Rifaximin is an antibiotic primarily used for treating bacterial infections in the gut, not for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Furosemide is a diuretic used to treat conditions such as edema and hypertension, not for this syndrome. Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic commonly used for various bacterial infections but is not indicated for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
